Animal Shelters in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has 98 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 10 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Manchester has more than any other New Hampshire city, followed by Sandown and Salem. There is no shortage of choice in New Hampshire — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
New Hampshire has 98 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
Manchester has more than anywhere else in New Hampshire, followed by Sandown, Salem and Bedford. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Rockingham, Hillsborough and Grafton counties have the most, though listings reach 10 of New Hampshire's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
